Re: URUGUAY: IDF Grant for Institutional Strengthening to Promote Equitable Access of Society

First Amendment to the Grant Agreement
Dear Sir:
Please refer to the Grant Agreement (the "Grant Agreement") between the International Bank for
Reconstruction and Development (the "World Bank") and the Legislative (Poder Legislativo) of the
Repiihlica Oriental del Uruguay (the "Recipient"), dated October 19, 2010, for the above-referenced
Project. Capitalized terms used in this letter ("Amendment Letter") and not defined herein have the
meaning ascribed to them in the Grant Agreement.
In response to the Recipient's letter to the World Bank dated July 30, 2013, requesting to: (i)
reallocate funds among disbursement Categories; (ii) include Non-Consultant Services in a new
disbursement Category; (iii) include National Competitive Bidding as a particular method of procurement
of goods and services (other than Consultant's Services); and (iv) modify one Project indicator, I am
pleased to inform you that the World Bank concurs with your request and therefore proposes to amend the
Grant Agreement as follows:
1.     The following new definition is added (in its corresponding alphabetical order) to Section 1.02 of
Article I of the Annex to the Grant Agreement:
"'Non-Consultant Services' means logistical service expenses for media campaigns, as well as
other services, acceptable to the World Bank, which are not rendered by consultants, obtained at
reasonable cost on account of Project implementation and which are not covered in the definition
of Training."
2.     Section 2.04 (b)(i) of Article II of the Annex to the Grant Agreement is amended and replaced to
read in its entirety as follows:
"(b) (i) A collaboration agreement is signed among the Selected Agencies in charge of the
implementation and supervision of one or more of the Selected Norms, under terms and
conditions acceptable to the World Bank."


3.     Section 2.06 (d) of Article II of the Annex to the Grant Agreement is amended and replaced to
read in its entirety as follows:
"Particular Methods of Procurement of Goods and Services (other than Consultants' Services).
The following methods may be used for the procurement of Goods and Services (other than
Consultants' Services), for those contracts which the World Bank agrees meet the requirements
set forth in the Procurement Guidelines for their use: (A) Shopping; (B) Direct Contracting; and
(C) National Competitive Bidding."
4.     The table in Section 3.01 of Article III of the Annex to the Grant Agreement is replaced in its
entirety to read as follows:
Amount of the Grant     Percentage of Expenditures
Allocated               to be Financed
